Free calling in Gmail extended through 2011
December 20, 2010
Posted by Robin Schriebman, Software Engineer
When we launched
calling in Gmail
back in August, we wanted it to be easy and affordable, so we made calls to the U.S. and Canada free for the rest of 2010. In the spirit of holiday giving and to help people keep in touch in the new year, we’re extending free calling for all of 2011.
In case you haven’t tried it yet, dialing a phone number works just like a regular phone. Look for “Call phone” at the top of your Gmail chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name.

. Calling in Gmail is currently only available to U.S. based Gmail users.
Happy New Year and happy calling!
